"Stainless steel" is a misnomer; 'rust resistant' is the proper term.

I was astonished when I realized that Colt had put plastic on that model! |

Colt plunged into the depths at one point. Crappy tissue thin cardboard boxes with a thermo blown interior that would split if you even looked at it. One magazine only sold with each gun. Some models had plastic mainspring housings, plastic magazine followers, plastic recoils spring guides, Plastic recoil spring end caps, etc.
It has gotten somewhat better. |
